Here are 5 resume mistakes you can avoid to maximize your job opportunities! 🤯
🧵👇
1. Limiting your scope
Don’t say“React Developer” ❌
Say “Frontend Developer” ✅
Your projects in React will prove understand frontend well and are capable of learning more frameworks.

3. Focusing on certifications instead of projects
“Completed ‘Introduction to JAVA’ course on Udemy” has low/no value. ❌

4. Not being relavent enough
Mentioning your Machine Learning projects for a frontend engineer position isn’t relavent.
Similarly exanding your “Digital Marketer” experience into 6 big points isn’t gonna help for a Software Engineer position.
Keep irrelevant experiences short

5. Telling stories

Your resume should contain facts and concise single sentence points explaining technical details of your projects and experience ✅
Save your stories for the interview
